Grant we have headcheese here too, most stores make their own and some are better than others but it's all good.

ÂRajun Gardener said:I'm gonna fry some for breakfast with fresh country eggs. It can't be worse than anything you buy at fast food restaurants.

If you layered a few garnishes in there, then served it with some mustard and cornichons and called it a terrine de porc, or pâté grand-mère...people would would be much more accepting of it.
Good on you for experimenting.
If you want to dive deeper into this, do a little reading on French charcuterie.
Start with the cooked stuff: pâtés, terrines, confit, rillettes...
